she's probably "controlling" because you were sneaking around with gangsters. um, hello- last time i checked parents didn't like hen their kids snuck around without their permission. to me, this just screams "trust issue."
and i'm pretty sure being asian isn't the only reason. have you done things like this in the past? have you done anything else that would make them distrust you?
put yourself in their shoes- they just want what's best for you, i promise. but if you still think they're reasons are unjustified, then sit them down and have a talk with them about your feelings, and then ask them if you could have a chance to show them your responsible and make desicions you think are right.
